AMERICA 



My" country, 'tis of thee, 
Sweet land of liberty", 

Of thee I sing; 
Land where my fathers died, 
Land of the Pilgrim's pride, 
From every mountain side, 

Let freedom ring. 

Our father's God to Thee, 
Author of liberty", 

To thee we sing; 
Long may our land be bright 
With freedom's holy light; 
Protect us by thy might, 
Great God, our King. 



Extract from letter dated April 4th, 1864, to Hon. A. G. 
Hodges of Frankfort, Ky. — 

"Now, at the end of three years' struggle, the nation's 
condition is not what either party, or any man, devised or 
expected. God alone can claim it; whither it is tending seems 
plain. If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and 
wills also that we of the North, as well as you of the South, 
shall pay fairly for our complicity in that wrong, impartial 
history will find therein new causes to attest and revere the 
justice and goodness of God," — A. Lincobi

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC 



Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; 
He is tramping out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are 

stored; 
He hath loosed the fateful lightnings of His terrible swift 

sword; 

His truth is marching on. 

I have read a fiery gospel, writ in rows of burnished steel; 
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you My grace shall 

deal; 
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel; 
Since God is marching on." 

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea 
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; 
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make them free 
While God is marching on. 



SOLDIERS' CHORUS 

(From Faust) 



Who needs bidding to dare by a trumpet blown, 

Who lacks pity to spare when the field is won? 

Who would fly from a foe if alone or last 

And boast he was true as cowards might do, when peril is past. 

Chorus: Glory and love to the men of old 

Their sons may copy their virtues bold 

Courage in heart and sword in hand 

Yes ready to fight or ready to die 
For Father-land. 

Now home again we come, the long and fiery strife of battle 

over, 
Rest is pleasant after toil as hard as ours beneath a stranger 

sun, 
Many a maiden fair is waiting here to greet her truant soldier 

lover, 
And many a heart will fail and brow grow pale 
To hear the tale of cruel peril he has run. 
We are at home, we are at home, we are at home. 

Chorus: 



AULD LANG SYNE 



Should auld acquaintance be forgot 

and never brought to min'? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 

And the days of Auld Lang Syne? 
Chorus — For Auld Lang Syne, my boys, 

For Auld Lang Syne, 
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet 

For Auld Lang Syne. 
And here's a hand, my trusty friend, 

And gie's a hand o' thine, 
And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, 

For Auld Lang Syne. 
Chorus— For Auld Lang Syne.
